“Great sitter! From the updates looks like Willow had a great vacation away from me lol. Will be rebooking again! Thank you for taking care of our crazy puppy!”
“Leaving my dog is never easy, but with you, it felt different. You gave not just care, but genuine love, and that showed in how happy and relaxed my dog was. Thank you for treating them like your own and giving me complete peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful for you. Thank you once again Madeline”
“Aeden was wonderful with our girl Kona! He is a great communicator and Kona seemed happy to be there! We are already scheduled to leave Kona and our other dog with Aeden and know they will be well cared for!”
“Leslie was great! She took such good care of Zoey and was so quick to be able to adjust to her needs. She made sure that Zoey was cared for well while we were gone and provided frequent updates. Will def rebook!”
“We highly recommend Elena for cat sitting! She was amazing with our 6 month old kitten Billy we left in her care for over a week. We received stellar communication and pictures daily. Including a couple of cute personalized digital postcards of him! He came back from his vacation very happy and well fed. Overall she went above and beyond with her services. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“I highly recommend Haley. She was very accommodating and responsive after my last sitter cancelled on me. She took Mia in even when Mia wasn’t feeling well and gave me frequent updated.”
“Clyde and Nancy were amazing! They were super easy to get along with and my baby loved them. They sent pictures every day and always responded quickly. We will be returning and would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Paige was great! Kept us up to date about how our babies were doing and we could tell how much she cared about our dogs and making sure they were healthy and happy!”
“Ashley and her daughter was absolutely amazing I felt like I had no worries and while away that he was in good hands it’s very comforting thank you for taking care of my fur baby”
“Great communication from Jennifer while she took care of both of my dogs (80 lb lab mix and 13 pound King Charles cavalier mix). Dogs came back home happy and would definitely go back next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Sherry was awesome!! She communicated with us while we were on our 11-day trip to Nova Scotia, and she gave multiple updates on our little Daisy (shih tzu). It was a relief for us knowing we had someone who clearly cared about our little dog as much as we do.”
“Kara did a great job taking care of Jenny. She kept me updated with pictures and I felt Jenny was in very good hands. She also accommodated my request for a sitter at the last minute. Will definitely use Kara again.”
“Mrs Teresa was a God send! We needed someone to watch our 10 yr old chihuahua, Kiwi, while we traveled for our wedding. I was really nervous because I had never left my girl anywhere but with family. She sent so many pictures and videos of Kiwi having fun and relaxing and it gave me such peace of mind. Kiwi had the BEST time. Will definitely be using Teresa in the future for any trips.”
“Melissa took such great care of our pups! She treated them like family and kept us updated with photos and videos. We're looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Denise was great with handling our larger dogs! They were provided with plenty of yard time to play, snacks and later on a quiet nap. Will definitely keep in contact with her and continue to ask for her excellent service and advice!”
“Mychelle is always great with CJ. He was so excited to be there he went running right into the house with her and didn’t even look back! It is nice to know he is in good hands so we can enjoy our vacations.”
“Jason is great with our dog. We are thankful we found him and will continue to use him as our dog sitter when we have to go out of town. As it is with most folks, our dog is part of our family and it’s important to us that he is taken care of well and given attention while we are away. Jason does this well and sends pictures to us.”
“We loved having our dog stay with Carla. I was able to do a meet up with her before we dropped him off and she was so sweet and loving with my dog. She sent updates and pictures every day on how he was doing. He seemed very well loved and cared for while we were away and we will definitely be using Carla again for future stays!”
“This was my first time I used Rover. I had to go out of town for a few days. Prior to leaving my Dog Dusty with Min, I took him over so she could meet him. When I first met Min, she was warm and friendly. When I was leaving, she immediately got acquainted with my dog and took him outside and walked him. I felt comfortable and knew my dog would be in good hands. While I was away, Min kept me informed several times a day about his eating and potty time. She gave him his medication daily and sent me Videos of Dusty playing with other dogs. Min did a great job caring for my dog. I will definitely be using her services in the near future!”
Crystal Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
I have used Catherine several times over the last few years and it always gives me peace of mind knowing that my Pippa is in the greatest hands with her! Pippa is excited to stay at her home and looks to be having the time of her life in all the photo updates that I receive from Catherine! I trust her with my baby whole-heartedly. She is the best!
Haley was perfect for our high-energy dog!! Her dogs are perfect fits for a dog that really want to play. I’m kind of crazy about him and her pictures and reassurances were so helpful throughout our vacation. When we picked him up we could tell he was happy and well cared for. Our flight got delayed and Haley was great communicating with us and adjusting our arrival time.
Anna was an absolutely wonderful host. She was punctual, incredibly friendly, and an excellent communicator. Her genuine love for dogs shines through in everything she does. Throughout the stay, she checked in with me regularly and sent multiple photos of Jasper playing and socializing. I highly recommend Anna for any of your dog walking or boarding needs!
First time using rover , had major anxiety cause this was the first time we've let mocha stay with anyone other then friends and family. But Delfina was amazing! Constant updates, constant walks and she's super kind! Will be using her for this anytime we need to give mocha a vacation from us!
Jason was very caring and patient helping Patches settle in and overcome her anxiety in her new surroundings. He went out of his way to try methods to help her feel calm and comfortable. During the first nights he even slept some in the room she was in to calm her because she is used to sleeping in bed with us. Jason seems to be very kind and compassionate and Patches was well cared for.
